Chicago Tribune: Radbourn, of the Bostons
is very sore. but is likely to be before
the season is over. because it is believed he is
directly responsible for several defeats through
opposition to Kelly, and the feeling in Boston is
that he will be dropped the end of the season.

the other day. This is what he got for doing so:
A gold watch. GOLD headed cane, a suit of

In regard to the syndicates alleged offer the
brotherhood of Ball-p ayers Mr. Soden Of tina
Boston club said recently that he did not think
the offer would have any effect upon the dealings
of the League with the players. The League
gave the players a pretty good thing now. and
they would realize it very soon If they chased
such a wildcat scheme very far. The League
was willing, it always had been, to treat the
players fairly, and the existence of the offer of
this so-called syndicate would not be taken into
account at all in settling any questions which
might arise between the League and the play
There will be two umpires in the great games
between the League and Association pennant
winners for the championship of the world. AS
the Browns will be the Association club TO con-
test for that honor, Won der Abe has already
engaged McQuads as one of the umpires. The
other will be selected from the League. Both
umpires will offciate in each game. While the
Browns at bat McQuade will give the ball
and strike decisions, and the other umpire will
be stationed at or near second base to call the
base decisions. When the League club is at bat
McQuade goes to second base and the League
umpire calls balls and strikes. The plan is a
good one. and ought to insure nearly q correct
game as il Is possible 20 play.
